Abraham
George, an eight-year veteran of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, has
resigned his position in anticipation of opposing Brooklyn District Attorney
Charles Hynes in next year’s Democratic primary. George, 33, began working as
an assistant district attorney in 2004, immediately after graduating from the
Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University. He initially worked in
the trial division’s special narcotics unit, later moving to the narcotics
gangs unit and the homicide investigative unit. In the two years up to his last
day, July 2, he worked in the trial division on general criminal matters.

George
said he had been considering elective office for “a long time,” and that
running for district attorney makes sense given his own experience. He said
that Hynes’ conduct has been “about politics and not justice,” citing the
recent flurry of criticism surrounding the district attorney’s investigation of
sexual abuse in Orthodox Jewish communities. George also said the office under
Hynes has focused too much on non-violent crimes, especially those related to
marijuana.

George
said he expects to form a campaign committee later this summer. In 2005, Hynes
narrowly beat a primary challenge from state Senator John Sampson, who won 37
percent of the vote to Hynes’ 41 percent. In 2009, Hynes was unopposed. Hynes,
77, was first elected in 1989. A spokesman said the district attorney will run
for re-election but had no comment on George’s bid.
